I’ve Returned

So, I’ve decided to resume blogging about Magic.  We’ve all been there.  Our blogs become outdated, left alone for months, and then we return to them, etc. etc.  I will still make the majority of my posts from my iPhone while at tournaments starting with FNM tonight.  This simplifies things for me because I don’t need a PC to make updates from.  I suppose this conflicts with Twitter but whatever, I’ll deal.

Speaking of Twitter, I’ll add plenty of links to this blog later tonight after FNM so you can follow people on Twitter like MaRo, Forsythe, Mr. Orange, Flores, etc. if that’s your thing.

I added 5ColorControl as a webcomic.  Check it out, a good friend of mine from undergrad is the author and I’ll be writing weekly news posts that correspond with the comic content.

Tonight’s FNM is M10 Draft which I haven’t done since GP:Boston.  I have high hopes though because I’m just going to open a U/W bomb or force Mono-Black.  That seems to work in the 4-3-2-2 queues.

I’m kidding.

No I’m not.

See you later.

Welcome to iGoyf

Welcome to iGoyf, a semi-live Magic the Gathering blog.  Like all aspiring Magic players I realize that writing more about the game will make me a better player.  However, I don’t always have the time to write about my game-play and analyze all my decisions when I get home from a tournament, or the next day.  What to do, what to do?  Then I got a new iPhone and started browsing the applications.  I found the WordPress application and knew what I had to do.

The primary posts from this blog will come from the Magic tournaments I attend live via my iPhone.  This way I can write about an entire tournament over the course of several entries.  A draft night might begin with an entry highlighting the key cards from my pool and my final deck list followed by entries after each round recapping my performance.  Constructed events will begin with the deck list and subsequently include reports from each round.

So there you have it.  Usually I play magic at least once a week at Friday Night Magic (Sealed).  However, I will often play two, three or even more tournaments a week.  In addition I play plenty of magic online including testing of constructed decks on MWS and drafting on MTGO.  Also, I will be happy to post my thoughts when I play pack wars with my girlfriend.  It’s very exciting.
In the next few days I’ll post my first opinions on playing Eventide in limited.  Until then, stay shiny.
